seanoVR 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Does anyone know the part number for the correct oil filter for the VR6? I've seen in the search that there are 3 types- don't want to go and get the wrong one. Also how much oil will i need? Is it 6.5litres? Many thanks (oh yeah- can you get the filters from Halfords, or do they just sell crap) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted April 20, 2006 I believe (from helpful parts department man referring to computer listings today) 021 115 562 is oil filter element PLUS gasket. Part number of element ON ITS OWN is 021 115 561. My new element is in box numbered 021 115 562 and gasket is accompanied by element with number 021 115 561A stamped on it (plus "Hengst".) Parts man said he does not have 561A on computer! Everybody clear about this so far?? Does anybody have any comments on suitability of part number 021 115 561A for 1995 VR6, please?

Supercharged 2 Posted April 20, 2006 Part number of element ON ITS OWN is 021 115 561. Thats wrong, it won't fit - just order 562 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niges16V 0 Posted April 20, 2006 There is a difference of early or late models with '95 being the xover. The guy @ GSF said mine was late (your old VR SeanoVR !). The filter was a Mann one with plastic ends. When I removed the old one it was a more hefty one with metal ends and the GSF filter disn't fit. So went and got the right one from the dealer instead. So I'm still not sure if mine is 'early' or 'late'. So if anyone needs the plastic/paper type filter, let me know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted April 20, 2006 supercharged said Thats wrong, it won't fit - just order 562 562 is box containing filter (561/561A) PLUS gasket VAG parts say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted April 20, 2006 I now see after search that our truly wunnerful Mr kevhaywire gives the correct oil filter number as 021 115 561A, so I have got the correct one albeit in a box with number 021 115 562. Ain't life complicated these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 20, 2006 There is only one filter for the C VR6 - 562 (this does contain 561A but you can't order that seperatly) 561 is wrong - doesn't fit... craigowl, you've got the right one - stop worrying :lol: You can also buy as a kit with the plastic screw on and metal drain plug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted April 20, 2006 :D :thumb right: It's just that I thought I saw a picture of the correct one on here with holes in the metal end at the top. Mine ain't got no holes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
